A List of Pros and Cons
Pro: Mommy and Daddy are desperate for rest from chasing my brothers all day and me being up all night, SO I'm the first child that gets in their bed.
Con: By now they are immune to the sound of crying. So THIS happens.
Con: I am not quite special enough to have my own boppy cover.
And finally,
Pro: I get to have lunch out with the ladies!
Con: Mommy gets this text from Daddy an HOUR after we leave:
"Is A with you...because I can't find her anywhere."
Well, that makes us all feel really secure.

I love that last one! I went to the store with my sister when Isabelle was about 4 or 5 months old. We did NOT bring the two boys. Got to the store, got out of the car and started walking away when my sister said, "Um . . . aren't you forgetting something?"
ReplyDeleteOkay, I am DYING laughing at that last "con!" That sounds like something Josh might do. It's great when I tell him where we went during the day and he asks me "Did you take all three kids with you?" Um...no, I randomly selected one to stay home alone. Dads are so funny!
